Many problems were encountered through the use of the green screen. Firstly, natural lighting the room tends to change the shade of green on the screen and this effected our video later in the editing process; making the person standing in front of the green screen look either a lot paler and brighter or much darker.
Another problem we encountered when using the green screen was filming to full length shots; this was made more difficult as the screen we used was relatively small as well as the room that we were filming in. We struggled to fit everyone from head to toe into the shot however we overcame this by filming it in two separate takes (one with just 'Snoop Dogg' and another with the backing dancers) we then edited them over each other later to give the impression that the two dancers were standing behind Snoop Dogg.
Creativity
In our video we tried to match the outfits in the original video close enough so that our version of the video at least gave off a similar vibe; we used snapbacks, hoodies and t-shirs and fake beard drawn on with eyeliner to do this.
Research and Planning
Whilst filming and editing we often referred back to the original video to ensure we were watching shots as well as we possible could, as well as this we also used a story board that showed each shot and the time that it should appear; this made the editing process a lot easier.
